Banana Cockroach

Also known as Cuban Cockroach, Green Banana Cockroach

Banana cockroaches spend their days nestled beneath loose tree bark, in rotting logs, or tucked inside the folds of banana plants and palm fronds. Adults display an ethereal pale-green coloration that camouflages them against foliage, contrasting sharply with their brown, burrowing nymphs that feed on damp organic detritus. Strongly attracted to outdoor lights at night, these active fliers dwell exclusively outdoors and do not establish infestations inside human homes.
